Sheet Feet

Sheet feet is a condition caused by bedding—particularly a tucked-in top sheet or comforter—restricting the natural movement of the toes, ankles, and feet. This limitation can lead to discomfort and disrupted sleep, as the toes become either folded forward or backward, requiring the individual to adjust their foot position, often by turning their foot to the side or untucking the restrictive bedding.
Symptoms typically include:
• Toes folded forward or backward
• A feeling of limited foot movement or range of motion
• A need to turn the foot to the side to relieve the pressure or discomfort
• Frequent waking due to the inability to move the feet freely.
Solutions include:
• Loosening the bedding around the feet
• Untucking the corners of the bedding to create more space
• "Ripping" or pulling the corner of the bedding off the feet to reduce restriction
Prevention: For those with a particular sensitivity to sheet feet, requesting extra-loose bedding or a blanket that isn't tucked too tightly may be helpful. Additionally, a more relaxed bed-making style could alleviate the issue at home.
It's a playful yet relatable condition that many people experience, especially when traveling or staying in places where bedding is made too neatly.

Going full sheet

Kylie Monroe going full sheet- the act of being suddenly, explicitly, and personally racist or bigoted to a culturally marginalized group or individual, usually a form or component of an assault

Syn: "saying the quiet part out loud"
The thing about old racists is that many of them have been in cushy jobs long enough that dog whistles are a second language so it's rare to catch them going full sheet. On the bright side, they'll be dead soon!

sheet rippers

Sheet rippers can sometimes refer to the description of a lady's pair of high heels. The term implies that the heels are so high (and pointed) that during the throws of passion, her stiletto heels rip and tear the bed sheets.
Sometimes Jane likes to wear her FMBs but she worries about tearing the bed linen. She's got that many sheet rippers, she never knows which shoes to wear.
